Texas Monthly Barbecue Festival: SOLD OUT

UPDATE: All tickets to the Texas Monthly Barbecue Festival are SOLD OUT.

Tickets for the Texas Monthly Barbecue Festival are available for purchase. VIP tickets have already sold out, but there are General Admission tickets remaining. If you’re unfamiliar with the festival, here are a few key details:

When – Sunday, November 3rd

Where – The Long Center in Austin, Texas

How Much – $135 for VIP tickets (that’s gets you in at noon for an extra hour of eating), $75 for general admission that’s 1-5, and a new $35 walk-up ticket that can only be purchased after 3:00pm. You can get tickets here at 10:00am

Well I first noticed the person selling VIP for $550 each on Craigslist when I was thinking about getting VIP tickets as a present for my Dad. I actually had 2 VIP tickets on hold in my cart at opening time thinking about it, but didn’t check out with them! I only got my two regular admission. Then I went to Stubhub, which had 30 tickets on sale from $175-250 each.

I just realized that at the VIP price, a person could just get the Traverssa deal and get a free room and not have to buy from a horrible person. My hope is that none of these tickets get sold, because that is 40 people who won’t be in line at the actual event.
